I’ve been meeting with advisors at a couple local schools as I try to get my plan together.
School #1 is close to my house. They are a community college but do offer a couple 4 year degrees. No sort of post bacc support. I spent half the advising appointment straightening out that no, I’m not trying to get into the nursing program, I’m already a nurse. No I don’t want my BSN, I’m trying to be a doctor. She ended up giving me the email to the chemistry department head and said talk to them they will probably let me do whatever I want
School #2 is an hour away. 2 year community college but has a pretty new pre med post bacc program with dedicated advisors. The advisor seemed really excited for me and was able to give me a typed up plan of exactly what I need to do. Every class has a bunch of extra fees tacked on though
Both will be 1/10th the cost of the private university post bacc downtown (not affiliated with a med school)
My #1 is university of Washington (I know I know, it’s a reeeeeach) which says they don’t differentiate between CC and 4 year classes but they do take into account rigor of study, so who knows how much they actually care
In case it matters- cGPA 3.2 sGPA 3.5 15 years ago. Actually do want to go into rural primary care (I’m a hobby farmer) NP was the plan until I realized there’s no way that’s enough education to be independent with low resources around and I’d never be happy with it
